Future Prospects

'''Conclusions'''

Fos Jun Complementation is indeed happening. However, the induction of bacteria does not last a long time, breaks at room temperature within a few hours. Aslo it is not quite sure whether the cells are touching while the complementation tkes place or are simply close to each other.

'''Future Work'''

Fos and Jun complementtion and half YFP can have a viiety of applications. One that we were thinking about was to fuse either Fos or Jun with an element of the flagella and that would stick to the membrane of a next cell, hence forming a chain. By fusing to different membrane proteins,eentually one could use bacteria as building blocksfvo entire strucures that work in synchrony. What still has to be worked out is their short life span.
